[Gmail] It just started working! I did nothing!

[kschang]

I don't recall seeing any app updates, and I didn't do any additional clear cache, but today, Gmail just all of a sudden, well, started working!

FYI, the version I got is 4.7.1 (946962) according to App Info screen.

Did you had done a reboot after installing it? It's good to hear that,cause I have 4.6 working and was hesitating to update to the newest version. Although I am using the stock email app

It would be nice to know more about how you installed gapps, what version of the hdx you are talking about 7 or 8.9 LTE or Wifi. Gmail works fine for me as long as I start it with wifi off. I can turn wifi on once it's open.

Why is gmail such a pain in the balls? I decided to flash gapps rom so I could have some live wallpaper action, after flashing and getting setup I installed gmail. Gmail was working great, then all of a sudden it starts force closing... then i try to restart it and it force closes again. I can turn off wifi and it runs fine. Toggle wifi back on and it immediately force closes. I had it working before where it would stay running when I turned wifi on, but would not start with wifi on. That was when I had installed gapps myself and didn't use this rom. So, don't know what the trouble is... but I'm glad live wallpapers are working now. Of course adwlauncher won't work with widgets anymore, but the live wallpaper continue to run. It seems its always one thing works and another doesn't with this tablet. I'm loving the form factor though. Wish we could get safestrap for the 8.9" too.

It's not the device itself, and it's the combination of fixes installed... I've gotten my kindle to a point where all Google Apps work, including Nova Launcher + working wallpaper.

The only thing I lack is a working Google Play Store that won't disable the Amazon Playstore, and as it's required for Freetime as far as I can tell...

You should check out the latest from ptiwee/crashdump/gsleon3 as it modifies files instead of just replacing them and likely holds the answers for working everything...

I think that is only for the 8.9? I already applied what you are talking about (via tutorial) on the 8.9, which makes the 8.9" pretty great, but still no live wallpapers. Not sure how that was got to work in thor-gapps rom for the 7".

About Gmail on the 7" though. What order did you install to get everything working? Did you flash the gapps rom over stock? Amazon playstore would be nice... but I don't need it at all.

For Q1, and see what I posted in that thread.

For working gmail on 7, I use 7" root, safestrap, KindleFree and one of Android Cowboys general threads.... Anything cpasjuste put out has broken gmail, so I've had to revrt and remove any of his changes... FYI, I still don't have a working play store, but I want a working Amazon Appstore for Freetime, so I'll continue to sideload for now.. Oh and no lwp, but I haven't even tried or cared, and as I have working Nova + widgets + wallpaper...
